In Plain Sight
Book 1 of the Chameleon Protocol, The Helix Codex Universe
Some secrets are too dangerous to keep hidden—even in plain sight.
Rose Briggs has spent years hiding in the shadows, working undercover inside GenExt, the organization that turned her into a weapon. She’s determined to expose their experiments on people like her—if staying alive long enough to finish the job doesn’t prove impossible.
When a botched mission forces her to cross paths with Jake Martino, a Helix operative with the rare ability to phase through walls, Rose’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel. Jake is patient, steady, and protective in a way Rose can’t afford to need—and the connection between them might be the most dangerous risk of all.
As Paragon and GenExt tighten their grip, Rose and the Helix team must outmaneuver those who see mutants as tools to be controlled. But as dark secrets surface, Rose realizes the truth she carries is more explosive than she imagined—and trusting Jake might be the only way to survive the storm to come.
For readers who love found family under pressure, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes conspiracies in a near-future world, In Plain Sight is a gripping science fiction thriller with characters who will stay with you long after the last page.
